Tapestry Expert/Appraisal


This tapestry is in our dining room (there is also a smaller panel to the left of it, but I don’t know how to post more than one photo!). It seems in poor shape, but we’d like to have someone out to look at it, see if it can be repaired/saved and to see if it has any value, historic or otherwise. The house was built in 1905 and we suspect it’s original. Anyone know who could give us an assessment? Many thanks!

Direct Buy


Anyone a member of this club? I can’t find a way to get info on the brands they carry from the website — seems you have to show up for an info session and tour. We’ll be renovating a kitchen and I’m wondering if Direct Buy is a good avenue for getting supplies and appliances.

Mark Pariti/Men at Work


We’re considering hiring Mark for a substantial job which would include a kitchen relocation, electrics and plumbing upgrade. He comes highly recommended, but I notice some unfavorable posts about the work quality and his personality from a couple of years ago — any recent experiences anyone can share? Many thanks.
